Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter, has revealed that he will introduce BlueSky Social, a brand-new social network software.
Dorsey co-founded Twitter 17 years ago, held the position of CEO for a short time, and then returned from 2015 until 2021, when he resigned.
This happened just a week after Twitter was acquired by billionaire businessman Elon Musk for N19.2 trillion ($44 billion) in a protracted transaction.
Bluesky Social, Dorsey’s blockchain startup, declared that it is presently recruiting participants for its beta testing.
Representatives of the company claim that within two days of the announcement, 30,000 users signed up.
BlueSky asserts that its programme would let users switch between a variety of social media platforms using just one high-quality browser. Users will be able to control what they view and how much data they give to social media platforms thanks to this (algorithmic choice).
According to rumours, the business may be utilising web3 to attain this network performance.
Additionally, BlueSky assures its users that the AT Protocol would provide anonymity for the ownership of a person’s online identity via unaccountable cooperation. However, accounts can be switched between providers without losing any data or social network connections.
In 2019, Dorsey claimed that Twitter was evolving towards a decentralised, open standard for social media.
Private text texts between Dorsey and Musk that were leaked months ago showed that Dorsey had told Musk that Twitter should have an open-sourced protocol similar to what encrypted messaging services like Signal have in order to create a new platform that cannot be a company.
